A technique used in filmmaking where the director makes a character do something illogical or random for the situation in order to reveal vital information for the plot.
This phenomenon was found and named after a scene in the movie ‘Get Out’ when the main character, Chris, was being hypnotized in the chair but it was ineffective because he had cotton balls in his ears. Since the hypnosis was still a threat he should’ve left the cotton balls in but he removes them due to the director needing to reveal to the audience how he was able to beat it.

Get the Bobbin’ for cotton candy applesmug. A technique of fingering. Sticking one's fingers in a vagina and swirling it around. The swirling motion is meant to be similar to that of making cotton candy. When you make cotton candy, you put a stick in the machine and swirl it around, collecting all the melted sugar and forming cotton candy. The finger in the vagina swirls around like that stick. It isn't trying to collect any cotton candy, so don't get the wrong idea.
